Duckhorn 2018 Three Palms Vineyard Napa Valley Merlot 1.5 Liter MAGNUM
Duckhorn 2018 Three Palms Vineyard Napa Valley Merlot 1.5L Magnum 94 Points Wine Spectator
The Duckhorn 2018 Three Palms Vineyard Napa Valley Merlot Magnum is a benchmark expression of one of Napa Valley's most celebrated Merlot vineyards. Sourced from the legendary Three Palms Vineyard in Calistoga, this powerful yet elegant wine showcases the vineyard's distinctive minerality, concentration, and structure. The 2018 vintage delivers layers of black cherry, huckleberry, fig, chocolate, graphite, graham cracker, bay leaf, and sage. The palate is full-bodied and luxurious, with velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, rich dark fruit, spice, and earthy mineral character leading to a long, creamy finish. The 1.5L Magnum format makes this an exceptional collector's bottle and offers outstanding potential for long-term cellaring.
